What Is a Smile Makeover?

A smile makeover has the potential to make a big difference in your life. Feeling good about your smile can help you build confidence and restore function. 

Smile makeovers draw on various cosmetic treatments. Each makeover is choreographed to fix several issues, including:

The Smile Makeover Benefits

Custom-Made for You

Every detail of your new smile is designed around your needs. We listen to the dental issues affecting your lifestyle and self-confidence and create a tailored plan for the smile you’ll love. 

Feel Good About Your Smile

With several highly effective cosmetic dentistry treatments at our disposal, we can give you a confident smile. For many, this new-found confidence helps in various aspects of life. 

Restore Full Function

Missing or damaged teeth can affect the enjoyment of your favourite meals. A smile makeover doesn’t just improve the appearance of your smile; it restores bite function.

Fuss-Free Treatments

Many cosmetic dentistry procedures used in our makeovers are minimally invasive. We aim to deliver painless and convenient treatments with little impact on your life. 

Enjoy Better Oral Health

Correcting the position of your teeth and repairing minor damage will give you a smile you’ll love and improve your oral health for the future. Smile makeovers reduce the risks of decay and infection.

Your Unique Smile Makeover

Your stunning smile makeover will involve several steps. Although we can’t tell you exactly how your personalised treatment plan will look, we can tell you what it might involve.

Understanding Your Smile

Every smile is unique, and the issues affecting you may differ from those of someone else. The first step in your new smile journey is to discuss your desired outcome. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss how you view your smile. 

After assessing your teeth, gums, and jaw, we’ll formulate the best course of action to address your specific concerns. At this stage, we may take scans, X-rays, and impressions to help us create your dream smile.

Once we’ve come up with the perfect smile design plan, we’ll talk you through it, giving you an idea of the treatment options involved, the price, and the timeline for the entire process. 

Your Bespoke Treatment

When you say “yes”, we can start work. How we achieve your outcomes will depend on the dental treatments we’re using in your specific case.

Align: If we need to adjust the position of any of your teeth, we’ll use Invisalign. These clear, removable aligners will straighten your teeth, reduce crowding, and close gaps in your smile. Treatment lengths vary from six months to two years. 

Brighten: Using Enlighten tooth whitening, we can give your smile some sparkle. Enlighten is a home whitening treatment which lightens teeth to the most natural shade of white in around two to three weeks. 

CEREC/ Composite: The final step in a smile makeover is often to repair damage using composite bonding or CEREC porcelain veneers and crowns. Composite resin is perfect for minor repairs to individual teeth, while veneers improve the overall appearance of the entire tooth, and crowns completely restore it.

Enjoying Your New Smile

After completing your beautiful smile makeover in Milton Keynes, all that remains is for you to enjoy it. We suggest returning to see us for a checkup every six months to ensure your teeth remain healthy and nothing impacts their appearance.

Smile Makeover FAQs

Get answers to our most frequently asked questions below.

How long does a smile makeover take?

Smile makeovers are specifically designed around the individual patient. Your new smile will include the treatments you need. Some makeovers take one or two appointments, while others may take a few months. 

How much does a smile makeover cost?

This depends on the specific treatments included in your smile design plan. We’ll discuss this at your consultation after identifying the best course of action. 

How long do the results of a smile makeover last?

Various aspects of a smile makeover will last longer than others. If we’re straightening your teeth, they can remain in their new position for life with the proper care. Veneers, crowns, and composite bonding can all wear down after several years; however, they can be replaced as needed. 

How do I care for my new smile?

The best way to look after your smile is by practising good oral hygiene standards and visiting us for hygiene appointments and dental checkups. 

If you have composite bonding or veneers, it’s essential to remember the restorations are not as strong as your natural teeth. This means you should avoid biting or chewing anything that could cause damage.
